Regain control from addictive habits

The receptors of your brain’s reward system that are affected by drugs like opioids are the same ones that can lead you on a path to other dangerous addictions like sugar and nicotine.

AcuLaser Treatment Centre Founder and Clinical Director Luciana Filippelli cured her own lifelong struggle with nicotine through laser acupuncture more than 20 years ago and has made it her mission to help people overcome their issues through FDA-approved laser acupuncture and holistic care.

“It Starts Out as a Sweet Tooth…”

Overconsumption of sugar can take a toll on both physical and mental health with a litany of consequences, from heart disease and type 2 diabetes, to anxiety, depression and mood swings.

“Sugar addiction is one that can really sneak up on you,” says Luciana. “It starts with someone thinking they have a little sweet tooth. Every time you ingest sugar, the blood sugar spikes then crashes, which triggers even more intense cravings. The net effect is you need more and more sugar for the same reward feeling.”

Laser therapy is at the core of the 30-Day Sugar Detox and 90-Day Weight Health Control programs, as well as the Smoking Cessation program.

“By stimulating specific acupuncture points on the body, we can naturally release endorphins, raise the metabolic rate, suppress the appetite and curb cravings,” she says. “Education is key to all of our programs. We work with each person to teach them about clean foods that are nutrient-dense, while coaching them to avoid toxic sugar, which they’re surprised to find out lurks in ‘healthy’ foods like yogurt and everyday condiments such as ketchup. We help clients learn how to comprehensively rebalance their lives so they can function at the highest level.”

She adds a recent client on the Sugar Detox program went from a dangerously high triglyceride level of more than 400 to a 125.

“Being able to break herself from sugar and lose weight has improved every aspect of her physical and mental well-being,” says Luciana.

Just Say No to Nicotine

Luciana and her team tap into the same cold laser to curb clients’ urge to vape or smoke.

“Just as with the sugar addiction treatment, the laser stimulates the pressure points related to cravings and withdrawal,” she says. “It’s a total myth that vaping will help you quit smoking. If anything, it’s more dangerous and addictive. It negatively impacts every organ in your body and shortens your lifespan.”

Luciana says the thousands of toxic chemicals vaping ushers into the body have been linked to lung disease, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.

Over the years, while the national average of people who successfully quit smoking remains a dismal 8.8%, she reports AcuLaser’s laser therapy boasts a 90% success rate.

“It’s commonplace for clients to come to us as a last resort,” she says. “They may have tried other methods and failed time and again.”

As AcuLaser client Rick S. points out, “Not only did the physiological craving for cigarettes go away, but my stress level was greatly reduced. I’ve told a number of friends and family about the program and how simple it made it to quit smoking.”

Other complementary holistic practices also offered at AcuLaser Treatment Centre include reiki to restore inner balance and lymphatic drainage massage as a means of detoxifying the body. And the practitioners have introduced ground therapy to reconnect people to the earth’s healing energy and NanoVi to boost cellular recovery and accelerate the healing process.
